This is sad.

To everyone that instantly calls "White Knight!" on supporters... if we're all white knights for SUPPORTING developers that are pouring their passion into this game and it makes us look bad.. then what should we do? Stop calling "White Knight" on anyone that has faith in the game and wants to support, seriously.

You're going through the same as when most of us who didn't play 1.0 are painted with the "sissy whiny crybaby entitled" bunch. I have gotten nothing but contempt reading these threads from a lot of legacy players. Do they equate to all of them? No, but here's some shining examples from another thread:

Can't wait till you reach your post limit so I don't have to read your bullsh't anymore..

First page of this thread: Everybody shits on OP because he's rude and ignorant. So much win.

The fact that you and 11 other people feel the same way you do is pathetic. Take your sorry attitude along with your "friends" and please leave. Is this your first MMO launch? You and your friends obviously have no idea what you're talking about. If the excuse to not play is because they couldn't play on early access, then I'm sorry but you need a much better reason.

These are the people you get when you cater to them: impatient and childish idiots. Go ruin some other game. We don't need your crap here.

Oh, and thanks for yet another useless thread.

Wrong, what I'll never forget is the lack of education, etiquette and respect people like you have. I've never seen such a huge amount of insufferable people dumping their accumulated hatred on such an insignificant part of life (a video game.) Everyone here since Saturday is entitled to receive the advertised services (a smooth gaming experience), but the way people like you are approaching it is completely wrong; and if you think you are at least 1% right, I sure hope you don't work in a place that has to deal with the public. Karma really is a bitch (and a good teacher too).

So basically as a new 1.0 player, the attitude I've been getting from the forums is that if I complain loud enough I'm told to just get a refund and GTFO.

Well?

No one is saying to leave, maybe a few, but none of us here said "GTFO."

You just contradicted yourself. The posts telling people to leave the game are there. There's no use denying it.

The thread you used as an example is a terrible one where support is imminent, someone who is whining that there are issues within a week of launch and then complain 24/7 on forums. SE is working on it and with a bit of support + Constructive Criticism, we'll create a better game all around, including server work.

Totally agree with the support and constructive criticism, but the issues still remain and people are still going to complain about it. The thread is terrible yes, but let's not pretend it doesn't discredit some of the problems that ARE prevalent right now. If I wanted to use another (less terrible?) post to pull more of these attitudes from, I easily could.
